Commentary on Matthew 21:34
Theological / DevotionalHis servants. In ch. 23:34 Jesus speaks of sending “prophets, and wise men, and scribes” (cf. v. 37). The priests were in a special sense the appointed custodians of the Lord’s vineyard, the prophets were God’s chosen representatives, or servants.
The fruits of it. Or, “his fruit.” The owner sent for his share of the crop (see on v. 33). Israel was to bring forth the fruit of character and thus reveal to the world the principles of the kingdom of heaven. The fruit of character was first to be manifest in their own lives, and then in the lives of men in the nations about them. Similarly, the Lord expects from His church today returns commensurate with the great blessings He has bestowed upon her (see COL 296).
